Rizal's interest, skills and
talents
•Rizal studied to become a doctor specializing in ophthalmology .
•Aside from being a doctor,he was also known among his
peers as profilic writer.
•He was also trained in the social science during his time in
germany in 1889.
•Some scholars attribute Rizal’s versatility tohis being a
genius.
•The term genius, however, is still a debatableterm, with
others measuring it quantitativelythrough the level of
Intelligence Quotient orIQ; while others measure it
quantitativelythrough an individual’s contributions to society.
•Regardless of how we measure ingenuity,it is clear
that Rizal was a remarkable individual based on his
credentials and his contribution to society.
•First,Rizal graduated with high honors when he was
studying in Ateneo.
•He was also a dedicated scholar who used his spare
time studying other languages and subject,as well as
other arts,such as poetry, sculpture, painting and martial
arts specifically fencing.
•It was said that Rizal was one of the best practitioners of
fencing among ilustrados during their time in Europe.
•Also, while we honor Rizal as the doctor and writer,most
of his scientific works were done during his exile in
Dapitan from 1892-1896 when he conducted numerous
scientific works that involved collecting and sending
different animal specimens to Blumentritt.
•He also conducted business ventures, improved
the water system in Dapitan using his background
in land surveying, established a school where he
taught arithmetic, writing geography and history to
young boys in Dapitan.
•In his spare time,he created various artworks,and
conducted various ethnographic linguistic and
geographical studies in Mindanao.
•When he won a lottery on September 21,1892, he
used the money to buy 16 hectares of land in
Talisay,Dapitan where he also practiced his framing
skills.
•He did all these activities while serving also as an
ophthalmologist that eventually led to romance
between Rizal and Josephine Bracken,who one day
brought her blind father,Mr.George Taufer,to Rizal
for a medical consultation.
•1892-1896 can be considered as one of the golden ages
of Dapitan because of the help of Dr. Jose Rizal.
•He engage in different community projects that boosted
the economy and quality of life in the area.
•He also remained true to his vow to educate the Filipinos
by establishing a school in Dapitan.
•Whether he was a genius or not by today's
standards,Rizal embodied his vision of a true scholar and
citizen in the service of his country.
•Rizal was a model of consistency when he said that the
ilustrados in Europe must go back and serve in the
Philippines.
•In fact,he himself came back in 1892 despite the dangers
he faced in the Philippines,even when he enjoyed a
relatively comfortable and safe life as an ophthalmologist
in Hongkong in 1891.
•He made sure that even in exile, he used all his ability
and talents to serve his countrymen.
